right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as

THE  EUCHbE,  OR  LICHHE,  INDIANS. 

.\moni:tlie  American  Indian  Trihes  that  have  lost  their  individ- 
ualitv  and  ln'come  merued  in-tlie  more  powerful  ahori^nnal  nations, 
the  Kucliee  is  the  most  distinctive  in  its  lauiruairo  and  customs. 
Before  the  Wnv  of  the  Hel)eHion.  tliis  Irihe  was  known  to  have  ex- 
isted in  the  South-eiisterii  Slates,  and  to  have  been  both  numerous 
and  powerful,  till  eoiKpiered  by  the  ("reeks  ui)wards  of  a  century 
airo.  It  is  avowed  by  McKiiiney  and  Hall,  in  theii'  history  of  the 
Indian  tril>es.  that  the  Kucheos  were  made  slaves  by  the  victorious 
Creeks,  and  were  at  leuirth  emancipated,  owinji'  to  the  fact  that 
that  nation  had  little  or  no  aurieultural  work  for  them  to  perform.

other  al.oriijrinal  tril.es  many  of  iht'se  people  have  <xvv\  eyes,  while 
the  complexion  is  several-hades  liohter  t  han  the  full-i)lood  of  othes- 
nations.      The    shape   .d'tlie    face  also   appears  t<.   .liffer  -lii-lnly 
and  the  woiiu'ii  are  in  many  instances  very  Iteauliful. 

Several  customs  amoii.iT  the  Kuchees  were  evidently  ilerived  from 
Scriptural  rites  and  i-ereinoiiifs.  For  example,  that  of  puiiti<'ation 
amoni:-  the  full-Mood  women  is  almost  identical  with  the  written  law 
as  described  in  the  liihh".  The  Imliaii  woman  duriiiiT  lh»'  immthly 
period  is  oiilii-t'd  to  retire  from  the  household  and  sleep  and  eat 
aloiu'.  havin-i-  vessels,  plates,  spoons,  etc..  which  are  only  usi'd  l.y 
herself,  and  tlu-ii  only  duriiii:-  lu'f  perioii  id'  uncleanness.  I  mil 
recently  she  v.as  supposed  to  camp  alone  in  the  op«'ii  air,  and 
wash  in  tin-  stream  or  river:    hut    the   hardship   of   this  custom   is 

now  moditied. 

After  iiiviiiii'  birth,  the  woman  is  ol»li«:i'd,  if  conveniently  pos-il»le, 
to  remain  out  of  the  house  until  after  the  seventh  day.  when  her 
purification  is  looked  upon  as  complete.  The  above  customs  are 
to  some  extent  observed  by  the  Creek  women,  but  they  do  not 
consider  them  so  impiu'taiit  as  the  Kuchees.  As  for  the  langua,i>e 
of  these  people,  it  is— as  the  learned  Mr.  (iallatiu  remarks  in  his 
elaiiorate  work— "the  most  iruttural,  uncouth,  and  dilHciilt  to  ex- 
press with  the  K;i,i:Tisli  alpliab;-t  of  any  known  toiiiriie  amoiii--  the 
American  Imliiiis.  Kveii  the  Creeks  .'aiiiiot  IcMi'ii  it.  althouyfh  the 
Kuchees  sjieak  the  Creek  lanirua,<j;<"  with  apparent  readiness.  A 
distinctive  trMit  amoni-'  tli'  Kiu'liees  is  their  abhorrence  to  inarrie<l

several  so-called  witches  wi-re  Inirned  {  or  olherwi-e  put  to  death  ). 
hilt  such  horrors  have  not  been  resorted  to  for  many  years  in  this 
nation.  in  early  days  prophecy  was  con-idered  a  very  ureal 
attribute  ainoiii:'  this  people,  ami  there  still  remains  one  of  the 
old  prophets — a  full-blood  named  ( 'oncliakehohi — in  whom  the 
um'idiiiliteiied  have  a  linn  bidief.  IJy  tlu'se  people  he  is  c(»ii-ulled 
when  memliei's  of  the  family  are  si(d\.  or  on  the  loss  of  a  horse  or 
other  property.  Altliouii'h  ('(mehak(diolo  does  not  pretend  to  be 
a  physician  or  to  personally  cure  the  patient,  yet  he  a--umes  to 
know  the  nature  of  the  disorder  at  once,  and  directs  the  -i(d\  per- 
son either  to  a  certain  physician  or  to  some  medium  llirou<:li 
which  ( or  tlirouirh  whom)  the  cure  is  to  be  (d'feeteil.  Sometimes

was  told  by  the  prophet  that  a  irrasshopper  had  leaped  down  his 
throat  and  was  sent  off  to  the  medicine  man,  who  <:avc  him  a 
nauseous  black  di'au<rlit  to  swallow,  which  must  have  soon  set  the 
in(piisitive  insect  at  lai'u'e.  In  the  case  of  a  lost  or  stolen  horse, 
(vonchakeholo  calls  for  an  article  of  wear,  a  blanket  or  other  i^ar-

inspection  of  the  same,  tells  the  whereabouts  of  the  horse  (or 
guesses  at  it)  and  the  best  method  for  its  r«'covery.  As  we  have 
before  stated,  the  uneducated  full-bloods  believe  implicitly  in  the 
f(>.esiiifl)t  of  the  prophet,  while  the  whites  and  half  breeds  persist 
that  his  proplu'cies  prove  as  often  false  as  true.  Hut  the  philo-

whiU'  its  liusiness  houses  cai'ry  larger  an<l  luore  varied  stocks  of

and  endinii-  with  .ielo^Mh-  1<.  Washiiiirt.ni  City   in  1H«7.      At  times

s,.,.retaries  of  the  executive   department.      While    not    en-a-i-c.!    m 
otticial  w..rk  he  pra.ticed  law  in  the  h.cal  courts.      W.  l\  H.mdmot. 
like  his  deceased  brother,  is  a  man   of   al)ility  and  talent.      He  is  a 
natural  musician  and  a  forcible  writer,  and  while  he  does  not  claim 
to  b,.  a  p..ct  he  has  written  verses  of  undoubted   merit.      »cino-  as 
he  is  a  native  Cherokee   Indian,   s.mie   rea.lers    may   be  .-urious  to 
kn.m-  how  one  of  the  ra.'e  has  su.cecdcd  in  a  Hel.l  of  literature  where 
>o  manv  have  fai'.e.l,  therefore  we  have  obtained   his  permission  to 
publish'  the  followini--  poem,  which  we   have   especially  chosen  tor 
its  ,,ictnres.|ue  wierdness  — a  .nudity  chara.teristic  of  most  of  the 
poetry  and  music   of  the    Imlians.      It   was  only  afti>r  -reat  p.'i- 
suasion   that   we   prevaile.l    upon   the    writer   to  favor  us.   as   Mr. 
Houdinot    is   the  most    nio<lest    and    unpretentious    of    men.      1  he 
verses,  we  are  told,  were  written  wIhmi    he   was   a  mere  boy.      Tlie 
idea    in    his  miml   seems    to   have  been  that   human   beinj-s  an-  all 
follow(>d  from  the  cradle  to  the   ,i.nave   by   a    relentless  and  ever- 
present  doom.

REV.  D.  C.  MURPHY. 

D.  (".  Miirphv  was  horn  in  Hickman  County,  Kentucky,  the 
s(m  of -lames  .Murphy,  of  Cork,  Ireland.  Mr.  .Murphy  wa>  edu- 
cal«'d  at  the  county  sehooU  and  soon  after  his  fatliei-"s  ileath  com- 
menced lahoriuii'  on  his  mother's  farm,  where  he  remaiiu'd  until 
fourteen  xcars  of  ajre.  The  twi'lve  immt  lis  followiiii:'  he  spent  eii- 
(leavorinir  to  learn  the  printers"  trade  in  Hickman.  Kultmi  County, 
Kentuckv.  hut  a  certain  wild  vein  in  his  nature  c(mi|uered  his  dis- 
[lositiim  to  learn  the  trade  and  he  ran  off  without  a  farewell,  waii- 
derinjr  lie  eared  not  whither,  and  with  no  other  ohjeet  than  the 
cratiticrttion  of  il  love  for  excitement  and  adventure.  Mr.  .Mur- 
pliy's  life  for  the  twenty  years  followimr  is,  to  use  his  own  words, 
"better  foriTotteii  than  recalled"' — heiuii'  wild  and  reckless  in  the 
extreme.  He  was  virtually  dead  till  his  conversion  in  l.S);:i.  which 
happened  at  a  Methodist  nreetiiiir  in  Henry  County,  'reiinessee. 
In  l«7l  he  moved  to  Sebastian  County.  Arkansas,  and  in  l^T')  be- 
came a  licenseil  preacher,  thouj^h  he  did  not  commence  prea<hin.ii' 
until  IHSl.  when  he   joined   the  Claremoiit   circuit    under  Ki'v.  Y.
